Abstract

Given that most children will experience the death of at least one close or special person prior to high school graduation, and because the vast majority of children attend school on a regular basis, school-based mental health professionals must be prepared to effectively support bereaved students. Supporting Bereaved Students at School is a contemporary guide that provides school-based mental health professionals with the information they need to support bereaved students, with a particular emphasis on practitioners in the fields of school psychology, school counseling, school social work, and clinical child psychology. The book covers how these professionals can help children and adolescents cope with their emotional, physical, and social reactions during the period of grief, lasting months or years, following a significant death in their lives. The book is divided into two sections, the first focusing on foundational knowledge and the second offering a range of evidence-based intervention strategies. This book provides school-based professionals and graduate students with tools that can be easily integrated into their daily practice.
